here are some pics of sculptures that i thought you guys might appreciate, seeing as how they have to do with slining.
the pictures are a little blury, but you can still see what is going on.
these two are wire;
this one is plaster with a braided sling;
it is titled something like "slinging the troubles of the world away", the little cube is apparently supposed to symbolize pandora's box.
the sling looks a little short, but at least it is accurately depicted.
ps: sorry, but i can't get the pictures to stay rotated for some reason. oh well.
